If Our Bed Could Talk... via LaurieJStone
Don’t worry, this is not going to be some kinky “tell-all.” But you know when you can’t put something off any longer? That’s how we felt about buying a new bed. After twenty years, the old one was so lumpy and beaten-up, I’m surprised it didn’t leave on its own. We finally roused ourselves and went to the local super-store.
I sat, doing the math. We’ve been married 36 years with two beds. That means each lasted an average of 18 years.Time flies. And that’s when I saw how each of our beds had its own era. That first mattress saw the friskiness of young marriage and dinners of take-out Chinese spent lounging around, watching “Taxi” on the bedroom TV.
When I had an infant and two year-old, that bed became my refuge. I’d lie there, exhausted between feedings and playtimes, picturing the bed like Mammy from “Gone with the Wind.” “There, honey child. It’s going to be alright,” it seemed to say. By the times the boys were older, we had a chair and window seat for them, but family meetings were usually conducted with Randy and I holding court on our king-size, a cat or dog always sleeping between us.
